Twisted Electrons FlexFM

EDIT: Make sure to select the original language for the video, i.e. German, although what you’ll hear is English.
If you don’t do that, you will hear an AI generated translation of perfect English into crappy English with audio drop-outs - Thanks to AI…

So excited about the temporal flexibility in this sequencer with the tempo curves, per track tempo and the whatever the thing with the tape animation is. Freedom in hardware :raised_hands::clap::clap::raised_hands: truly excited

Only looking forward to more on what the synth voices sound like as I’m not so into the video game sound

Joystick controller… it really is so special…

Most interesting groovebox I’ve seen in a while! Modest voice count and effects choice, but grouping operators to chords and multiple outputs should help with that and having different operator engines sounds great. It’s almost like Opsix+Iridium+sampler in a groovebox format. Also loving the joystick. If the price will be under 1k this could be serious player.

I’m also not at all into chiptune and so on.

But as long as you have FM, you can be sure to have access to a wide-ranging sonic landscape.

Off topic - or is it?

I’m a big fan of Twisted Electron’s BlastBeats - so I might be biased - and I find it a bit sad that most of the demos focus on chiptune. This machine can take you much further than that and sound pretty nasty if you want it to.

I can’t wait for this wan :slight_smile:

Not only the joystick, but also that velocity sensitive pad that allows you to easily input ghost notes. And then there are the LEDs around the knobs that snap to whatever you’re currently looking at.
Honestly, unless this thing by some miracle ends up sounding absolutely terrible, I don’t see how this isn’t gonna be a huge success. I can’t think of any other groovebox that ticks all these boxes. Joysticks in particular are super underrated for recording movement into a groovebox sequencer an I love the Analog Keys for it.

That said, why did you pick the one video with constant audio dropouts to open the thread with? :joy:

Did you change the language to original?

Omg, why on earth is there english auto dubbing on an english video? :joy:
Yea, I didn’t notice it was turned on. What a stupid garbage feature.
The reason I didn’t question it was in part because the channel owner posted a comment under the video saying that “audio may not be perfect”.

Sorry for soft-derailing the thread.

You’re probably not the only one to experience this, so it’s good you mentioned it.

Thank you AI, again…

This thing could really be amazing. Self contained or treated as a multitimbral synth. I have been doing 1 take long recordings with gear for a while now and this looks like a great fit for that. Though no release date makes me think we won’t see it in the wild soon.

Tempo curves!! :heart_eyes_cat:

I am not sure, did he say you can modulate the sequencer with the joystick? The sequencer lanes, could be a target,? If there is a preorder, im in.

Custom Macros,. … incredible performance oriented … how it should be
